Wills Articles and News
Everyone knows what a will is, and why it is important. So why do so many people die without having an effective will in place? In some cases, this is because people have drafted a will themselves, which will often not meet the strict requirements of the law and could be declared invalid. In other cases, people instruct unqualified will writers, who are not regulated in the same way as solicitors. This can mean that if there is a dispute about a will, there is nobody who can be held responsible. The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones, is to ensure that you have an up to date, professionally drafted will in place. Our lawyers have been providing the highest levels of will drafting services throughout North Devon for decades, visiting clients at home or in care if they cannot get to the office, and ensuring that wishes are carried out after they pass away. We can help you achieve peace of mind about what will happen to your estate after you die, and avoid the likelihood of costly disputes or problems for your family.
